Kickstarter

In addition to Boston Dance Alliance, we are also raising money through Kickstarter!

What is Kickstarter?  Well, at first we, like many others, had NO idea what it was.

Turns out, its a grant-like website for all different kinds of artistic projects. Like, A LOT of different projects, ranging from video games to original plays and upcoming bands. Its filled with all sorts of things. 

Basically, you have an idea, a movie, a song, a band, a show, whatever, and you pitch it to Kickstarter.  You set a goal of a certain amount you need, say like, 10,000 dollars. Then after you get approved, you set up a page to help raise funds and your target date, which can be a maximum of 90 days. You spread the word any way you can and try to get "backers" to help fund your project. If your time runs out and you haven't succeeded, your backers get refunded. So its really a battle against the clock. Most projects do get funded, surprisingly so we thought this we be a good idea. Another great feature is that you can set rewards for certain amount of donations, like donate $25 or more you get a hat or a dvd, depending on the project and what they offer. Its all pretty neat.

We were actually surprised that a good deal of the projects got funded, but if you think about it, a lot of them were very unique and thats what people like. Plus, its good to have some wealthy friends.

Some of the original films were quite interesting, as were some of the written works people were trying to launch. We definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to launch any sort of project. Since ours was something a bit different as well, it seemed like a good idea.  We hope that we can get enough backers to help with Chicago.

Check it out! 

Our project is currently being funded and we are looking to raise at least $4000.00 in 90 days.
